You need to configure the "wireless" part of the router, to assign a SSID, an encryption-level (hint: use 'WPA') and a password/pass-phrase/security-code. Then, use the SSID and password on each of your wireless devices.

You want to secure the wireless network.Is there any computer connected to the router with the Ethernet cable?If not then you will need to connect the computer to the router with the cable.Check the IP address on the computer. Open the router set up page.Once you open the set up page, you will find the option to make it secured

No software is needed for any router to get it installed on Laptop or on Desktop, if you know your Wireless SSID name and the Wireless Security password that you have set on the router then you can directly connect the laptop wirelessly to the router.

Setting up security is somewhat involved. Rather than try to give you step by step instructions here, follow this link to the WPN824 reference manual and go to page 46 to look at security options and setup. It will start with WEP, but I would suggest you keep reading and consider using the stronger WPA.

You
can reset your Netgear router/wireless wpn824 router to the factory settings from within the
router manager. The reset procedure removes all user-configured settings
and returns the router to the original factory settings.

For this
reason, only reset the router if you encounter problems that can't be
solved with other methods.

Step 1:
Check that your Netgear router/wireless wpn824 router is properly connected with your system
or not. If it is OK, then press reset button on Netgear router for at
least 10 seconds. The 'test' light should flash during this process.

Step 2: Now open browser and enter Netgear's IP address into the address bar. Generally, '192.168.0.1' is the Netgear router IP address but you can find specific IP address in Netgear wpn824 router manual.

Step 3: Now enter your default username and password to log in to router.

Step 4: Click 'Erase' button under the 'Revert to Factory Default Settings'.
This process will erase all your previous changes that have been made
to the router and restore the configuration settings to factory setting.
Don't interrupt the process until the process is finished.

Once the router's 'test' light has stopped blinking and the configuration page you are on has refreshed, the wpn824 router has been reset.
